STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Firefighters believe they've knocked down all visible pockets of a four-alarm brush fire that flared up in Great Kills Park this morning, according to emergency radio transmissions.

FDNY officials, however, are continuing to hose down vegetation at the park to prevent another possible outbreak. It took firefighters over three hours to get today's blaze under control.

Officials also say homes on Chesterton Avenue and Grayson Street are safe -- at one point, the flames were approximately 100 yards away. Fire units rushed to those streets this morning and began hosing down brush area to try to keep the blaze from spreading. Residents, though not evacuated, were told they may be asked to leave should the flames continue encroaching.

FDNY officials remained on the scene at Great Kills Park overnight after yesterday's six-alarm fire, but dry conditions and strong winds spread the flames once it flared up again.

"When the wind picked up, that's when it took off," Assistant Deputy Chief Michael Marrone, the borough's fire commander, said. "We haven't had much rain, the conditions are really dry."

According to Marrone, there were no signs the brush fires were suspicious at this point.
